Leslie Alexander Nemes (born 5 December 1960 in Croydon, England) is an English bassist. After he and guitarist/vocalist Nick Heyward had been in other bands together, the pair formed Haircut One Hundred in 1980. [1] The band enjoyed considerable success in the early 1980s including a top-5 album and four top-10 singles in the UK.
Heyward left Haircut One Hundred in early 1983 but Nemes remained with the band for its second album, released in 1984. The album was a commercial failure and the band broke up.
Nemes went on to tour and record as a session musician for Hugh Masekela, Chris Rea, Friends Again, China Crisis and Rick Astley.
Nemes moved to Spain in 2003.
Since 2004, after appearing on the VH1 show Bands Reunited , Haircut One Hundred (including Nemes and Heyward) have re-formed on several occasions.
